Is that what the hell this is? Been down for 2 weeks. Worst sick I have been in 10 years since getting pnumonia.

Dear Greenwood_60, well I don't know! But it sounds like you should get checked out, especially if you are diving. As for Sarcoid, it is an immune disease that may lead to granulomas (tumors) in the lungs. Therefore it has severe consequences for diving safety. If Sarcoid is a concern at all, you should get a lung CT scan -at least.

No idea what I have. Was getting a sore throat and cough from the dry air in Vegas, then woke up one day half dead. Had to book 2 extra days before I could even fly home. It hit all 4 of us from the company on the trip. And none of us have been to work in over a week. All I know is it's an unproductive cough, and a slow recovery. No diving for me until it clears up.

I sure hope you are not asking because you think you have it!
